Question

An alkene, \(\mathrm{C_4H_8}\) (\(X\)), on reaction with HBr gives a compound \(Y\). Hydrolysis of \(Y\) follows the \(S_\mathrm{N}1\) mechanism. The ozonolysis products of \(X\) are

• A. \(\mathrm{CH_3CH_2CHO,\ CH_2O}\)
• B. \(\mathrm{CH_3CHO,\ CH_3CHO}\)
• C. \(\mathrm{CH_3CH_2OH,\ CH_3CHO}\)
• D. \(\mathrm{CH_3COCH_3,\ CH_2O}\)

Hint:

A tertiary alkyl halide undergoes hydrolysis mainly by the \[ \boxed{S_\mathrm{N}1} \] mechanism. Ozonolysis cleaves the \[ \boxed{\mathrm{C=C}} \] bond into carbonyl compounds.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D
